Parents need to know that this crime drama fuels its weekly plots with realistic depictions of violence and often places characters in situations of severe emotional distress. There aren't a large number of on-screen deaths, and blood is usually kept to a minimum, but characters can be seen begging for their lives -- which can be equally troubling. Some of the killers are sexual predators, and characters sometimes use words like "damn" and "ass."
